These moist treats will have everyone reaching for more. Folks tell me they enjoy these French Christmas cookies.

Test Kitchen Tips

To melt chocolate chips, seal them in a zip-top bag and put it in a pan of hot water. After a few minutes, knead the bag to smooth the chocolate, then cut a small hole in a corner of the bag to pipe out the chocolate.
